The Shakespeak Translator

Shakespeak

Project for McHacks 2019

This is a website we built in 24 hours for McHacks 2019. We drew inspiration from xkcd #1133 and it's eponymous The Up-Goer Five Text Editor. In our 'Shakespeak Translator' text editor, we challenge users to explain technical/modern/weird topics to, well, Shakespeare. That is, we only permit the use of words that were present in any of Shakepeare's works, or are the name of a city/country (this was done with the help of the Google Cloud Natural Language API and its Entity Analysis capabilities).

I dabbled in both frontend and backend code. I was here last year, having about two weeks of learning C under my belt and not knowing the first thing about APIs or databases or web development in general. This experience has shown me how far I've come since then & has encouraged me to keep going!!
